WEIRD day

Today has definitely been one of the weirdest days of my life. It started with my running late for class which I almost never do, but when I got to the Creative Arts Center where all of my classes are, there were a bunch of people standing around outside which is rediculous considering how cold it was today. Anyway, I went to head into the building and a cop stopped me and said "the building is closed until further notice." I figured it wouldn't take long so I went to the library to wait...well about half an hour later they closed off the parking lots so I couldn't even walk to my car if I wanted to leave. So we all waited in the library for about 2 hours before they finally reopened the building. By then my class would have been over, so I just left, but on my way through the building I saw a cop so I asked him what happened and he just said that they had to call the bomb squad to come clear the building. So an interesting start to the day to say the least.

After that fiasco, I went home to have lunch and stuff. While I was here I decided to call my dad, but he didn't answer so I left a message. I called him because he had called me the day before and left a message saying that he needed to talk to me about some important stuff and he said something about his death benefits and that my brothers were both signing a waiver to give the money to me. That was not good to hear. Anyway, I finally got to talk to him this afternoon and he told me that his liver is failing and that he needs to have a liver transplant but that it's quite unlikely that they wouldn't be able to do it because he has Krohn's disease. This is not good news. He told me that he doesn't think he's going to survive much longer which is why he's trying to take care of all this stuff with his death benefits through the VA. So needless to say, I lost it. I broke down. Even if it doesn't happen anytime soon, hearing all of this just makes you think...it makes you emotional. In fact I've been so emotional that I don't even know what emotion to show. I've been laughing a lot for the last several hours which is a good thing but at the same time I'm starting to think I've really lost it this time.

Once I regained my composure I went to work. It was normal for the most part until the end of my shift. Some guy came in and said hello and asked me how I was doing and I said I was great with a very sarcastic tone. So I answered his question and he went to grab something but on his way out, he came over behind the front desk and gave me a hug. I've never met this guy in my life, but maybe he just sensed that I needed it or something. It was pretty random and it definitely made my boss laugh. So after that I went to HBM and Elvis's place for CAYAC. It went really well. I just talked about my day and stuff for a while and then we got into our study. We ended up getting into public confession...when it's needed, when it's not...the importance of accountability, why we need confession, etc. etc. It was really good. I was the only one there again which doesn't bother me but we all wish other people would come. We spent some time trying to figure out some good ways to get people to come.

So yeah, that was my really weird day. Please be praying for my dad and all of our family. There's more to the story, but I won't go into all of it. I need to get some sleep so I'll probably be going to bed soon.

God bless.
